UNITED STAT S HENRY P. KLEIN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

HEAT-DEFLECTOR FOR REGISTERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 365,078, dated June 21, 1887.

Application filed February 15, 1887. Serial No. 927,672. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY I}. KLEIN, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heat-Deflectors for Regis ters, of which the following is a description, referenccbeinghad to the accompanying d rawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure I is a perspective view of said deflector as applied to a furnace-register. FiglI is a side view of one form of deflector applicable to a rectangular register, the end being removed to show the interior mechanism. Fig. III is a rear view of the same, showing perforations for the admission of air. Fig. 1V is a plan view of a circular deflector. Fig. V is a transverse sectional view of the same as applied to a circular register.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in the different figures.

It is well known that but a small proportion of the heat from ftnnace-registers is utilized, for the reason that it ascends directly to the top of the room and comparatively little benefit is derived from it.

The object of my invention is to provide a deflector for furnace registers and radiators, but particularly the former, which shall serve to direct the heat toward the floor upon one or all sides of the register, which object I accomplish substantially in the manner hereinafter more particularly described and claimed.

A in the drawings reprepresents the body or frame of my improved deflector, of which the preferable-term for rectangular registers is shown in Fig. I. This consists of a sheetmetal frame of the size to cover the opening in the register B, the same being provided with an overhanging hood or extension, A, which is preferably curved downwardly upon one side. If the other three sides are inclosed, as I prefer in most cases to have them, the heat is deflected in one direction only, which I find in a majority of cases to be the most dosirable.

If the register is circular and located at or near the center of the room, it may be necessary to direct the heat outwardly upon all sides or radially therefrom. In this case I make the deflector in a circular form and larger than the register, preferably deflecting its edges downwardly, asshown in FigsIV and V. A series of posts or legs, A, Fig. V, may be used to support it at the proper height.

It is desirable, as stated, to distribute the heat as much as possible upon the floor. This I accomplish by means of the following mechanism: A turbine fan, C, Figs. II and V, is mounted upon a vertical shaft, (2, which is pivoted at the bottom upon a cross-bar, D, and at the top in a bearin D. A fan, E, whose wings are in the plane of said shaft, is also rigidly attached thereto. As the heat rises through the register the turbine C is rotated, which tends to increase the draft from the reg ister, while the fan E, likewise rotated, serves to distribute it over a large area.

If desired, in the form of deflector shown in Fig. I, openings G may be formed in the rear for the admission of cold air to temper that from the register; but while I prefer this I do not regard it as essential.

II represents a handle for lifting the dedoctor.

It is obvious that the deflector may be made of the same size or even smaller than the register, and may consist of a flat sheet or disk, with means for supporting it above the register,and yet produce results more or less satisfactory. I do not, therefore, confine myself to either or any of the specific forms shown, as it is apparent that they may be varied in that respect to produce inferior equivalents without departure from the essential features of myinvention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. In a heat-deflector for registers, the combination of the cover A with the inclosed rotary fans C E, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

2. In a heat'dellector for registers, the combination of the cover A, having openings upon one side for the admission of cold air from. the room, with an inclosed turbine and distributing fan mounted upon a common shaft, sub stantially as and for the purposes set forth.

HENRY 1. KLEIN.
